WARNING
• The mask must be used under qualified supervision for patients who are unable to
remove the mask by themselves. The mask may not be suitable for those prone to
aspiration.
• The mask should not be used unless the device is turned on. Once the mask is fitted,
ensure the device is blowing air to reduce risk of rebreathing exhaled air.
• Discontinue using or replace this mask if the patient has ANY adverse reaction to the
use of the mask. Consult your physician or sleep therapist.
• The mask is not intended to be used simultaneously with nebulizer medications that
are in the air path of the mask/tube.
• If there is any visible deterioration of a mask component (cracking, crazing, tears etc.)
the component should be discarded and replaced.
CAUTION
• Always follow cleaning instructions and only use a mild liquid detergent. Some
cleaning products may damage the mask, its parts and their function, or leave harmful
residual vapours. Do not use a dish washer or washing machine to clean the mask.
• When fitting the mask, do not overtighten the headgear as this may lead to skin
redness or sores around the mask cushion.
• As with all masks, some rebreathing may occur at low pressures.
• Using a mask may cause tooth, gum or jaw soreness or aggravate an existing dental
condition. If symptoms occur, consult your physician or dentist.
• Do not iron the headgear as the material is heat sensitive and will be damaged.
